| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinLacks the marquee names and production values of big studio romantic comedies, but it connects on an emotional level most of them fail to do. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanHamilton, in her movie debut, is a find: the kinkstress next door. |
| Village VoiceRobert Wilonsky[Goldthwait] handles it beautifully, crafting from such rough stuff something astoundingly sweet and sharply funny about forgiveness, unconditional love, tenderness, and the things we hide just to get ourselves from one day to the next. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeCarnal, crazy and, most amazingly, heartwarming love story. |
| PremiereSara BradyIn the end, it's not Amy's secret that's the most shocking thing about Sleeping Dogs, it's Hamilton's fearless commitment to making what could have been just a cheap punch line into something warmer, richer, and far better. |
